Mother of Pearl S/S 2013

Creative Director of Mother of Pearl Maia Norman fuses her love of fashion and sports with the help of head designer Amy Powney. This Spring and Summer we see a strong graphic composition, utilizing crepe de chine, silk, light wools, cotton blends and leather accents. Overall the look is highly collectable, elegant, and for a fashion forward women. It has an air of Italian fashions from the late 1970s to it.
